In the Dark Knight did the Joker trick Batman to go to Harvey instead of Rachel?

Question

See title.

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

yes with the mixedup address he knew that by killing rachael he could create two villians in the public eye.. it kinda back-fired though

Answer 3

Yes, he told him the opposite address.  

Answer 4

I think joker got the addresses mixed up,just because he was already trying to kill Harvey Dent.

Answer 5

the way i saw it was that Harvey Dent was becoming such a figure in Gotham City that they had to save him in order to let the joker know that they weren't going to give up, or something like that. but the lady that made the first comment might know what shes talking about. i didn't pay attention to the directions that the joker was giving and i dont know how she figured out what streets were what. oh yeah i remember now, batman said he was going after Rachael. the girls probably right.

Answer 6

the joker gave batman the wrong address because remember gordan said "which one are you going after?" and he replied "rachel." the joker switched the addresses because he wanted to show gotham that when someone as good as Harvey Dent experiences loss even they can turn bad. the joker knew that if rachel died harvey would lose hope and go bad. he wanted him to do this so the city would lose hope and turn against each other. thats why at the end batman took the blame for harvey and told the police to chase him so the people wouldn't lose hope. i know the joker switched the address because he said something about people like dent going bad when they lose the person they love the most. I think he said that in the final battle with batman.

Answer 7

Yes the Joker did trick Batman

Answer 8

Yes, here's the dialogue in question:

JOKER: But don't worry, I'm gonna tell you where they are, both of them.  And that's the point, you'll have to choose.  He's at 250 52nd Street and she's, uh, on Avenue X at Cicero.

The Joker switched the addresses, knowing that Batman would choose Rachel, who had no place in the Joker's plan to stop Gotham from being restored, over Dent, who was the key element in the Joker's plan.  So Batman went to Avenue X, only to find Harvey there instead of Rachel.

Answer 9

Yep, Joker trick Batman... Part of his plan to turn Harvey as a villian proving all good people like Harvey can be corrupted and turn bad against each other... But the best part about Joker that made his plan work is, Joker knew upon reaching, Lt Gordon wouldn't go in together with Batman and save the other as he rely on Batman to save both. That would make Harvey to go against Gordon...

Answer 10

No, he would rather save Gotham than save Rachel.  It was to save the city, he never said he was going to save Rachel, he implied they should go to Rachel.

Great Movie

Answer 11

Yes, the Joker's ultimate plan was to destroy Harvey's image as a public hero.
